Event Summary

Event Overview

Edinburgh to London Hero Ride - Tartan Express

The longest leg of Help for Heroes run Hero Ride 2014 departs from beautiful Edinburgh and covers 440 miles traveling almost the entire length of the country, so be prepared for some long days in the saddle!

The route has a military theme passing by Army and RAF bases including Catterick Garrison, home to Phoenix House, one of our regional Recovery Centres, and you'll be riding alongside some of the guys and gals who have benefitted from the help offered here and at our other recovery centres.

The scenery will take your breath away, as you pass Roman ruins and castles by the Scottish Borders, cross over the historic Hadrian's Wall and take on the beautiful and challenging Yorkshire Dales en route to Blackheath Common. Here you will join together with hundreds of other Hero Riders from all overthe country to cycle into London on 10 miles of closed roads for the Grand Finale!

Please note this is a demanding ride and you’ll need to put in some significant training!
